Part 5/7:
The reigning world sailing speed record is held by Paul Larson, who piloted the Vestas Sailrocket 2 to a staggering speed of 65.45 knots, equivalent to over 75 mph. This record was set in Namibia, a region heralded for its ideal sailing conditions.
The SP80 team aims to surpass not only the existing record but also set their own goal of reaching 80 knots by the end of the year, driven by a passion for innovation and accomplishment rather than any tangible bounty.
